Currently Reading - The Mystery of the Missing Masterpiece, Robin Bowles

This is the second in the Cornelia Finnigan series - a comic cozy series from local author Robin Bowles (more well known for her True Crime novels).

The blurb:

Having recovered from her near fatal run-in with a novice nun, Cornelia is the lucky recipient of a stunning porcelain horse. Funny that it looks just like the one the Triads appear to be murderously searching for...

Opening Line:

"Cornelia Finnigan's lanky frame resembled a praying mantis as she heaved herself on crutches up the stairs to her first-floor aparment. Gratefully she reached the halfway landing and leaned panting on the banister."
